Frantino -17hp

Ayita moves and attacks. Rather than delay last round, she could have climbed onto that table.

attack Mozamer: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 - 1 = 15
damage Mozamer: 2d6 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 - 1 = 7

Please note that she'd rolled a good perception just before combat began...

Ayita looks at the monsters, then at her friends.

She is pretty sure her friends don't like the monster though. She maintains her grip on Social Control and stands ready, analyzing the weaponry of the creature, looking for other problems her group might face in this room. (e.g. traps, other doors with more creatures potentially ready etc.)

[dice=perception]1d20+9+1

Ayita's keen senses scan for hidden enemies, traps, or anything that might seem out of place. She notices an alcove to the south. A curtain is pulled back, revealing a sleeping area. Looks like a place for Mozamer to rest/sleep. It is empty, except for the bed and nightstand.

Ayita moves and attacks. Rather than delay last round, she could have climbed onto that table.

Mozamer dodges Ayita's strike!

The remaining fleshdreg bites at Nasir!

Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Electrical dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 4 MISS

And then it tries to get by Nasir.

Tumble thru vs CMD20: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 = 20

This provokes from Ayita.

"---- --- ----- -- -- --------!" shouts Mozamer. He steps off the table into the space recently occupied by his minion. Flanking Nasir, he swings his halberd at the Kelishite warrior!

The move from table to floor is a Move, not a 5-ft.

Nasir is rocked by the savage blow from Mozamer.

Sarenrae, protect me from this demon! We have to kill him before he kills me!

Nasir keeps swinging his sword on pure adrenaline as he slowly bleeds out.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 10 - 1 = 20 Dmg: 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10

Frantino -17hp
Nasir -24-2+8 = -18hp
Doc -8hp

Frantino draws his potion of cure light wounds, drinks it, and steps 5' to prepare to move into flank (unless Ayita gets there first to use sneak attack, which is fine).

Potion of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Since this is a serious fight, I'll bring up one thing I just remembered. Silence is a one round cast, like a summons spell. (I was surprised to learn this a few years ago, too, but forgot until now.) He'd have had to start it one round and finish it at the beginning of his next turn. By casting defensively he didn't provoke an AoO, but Nasir's slash could have disrupted it anyway. Also, if he was in the middle of casting could he have taken his AoO on Frantino's move? A halberd is a two handed weapon but silence has somatic components so he'd have needed to take a hand off the weapon to cast.

@FRANTINO Thank you for pointing that out! I really appreciate it. This is going to be a tough fight and we don't want forgotten rules tipping the balance.

RETCON
* SILENCE disrupted by Nasir's 9dmg? - Concentration DC21: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17 DISRUPTED!

* AoO on Frantino's movement? - since Mozamer's spell was disrupted immediately after starting it (damn Nasir and his scimitar!), Mozamer would be free to AoO Frantino. So that will stand.

* Doc's healing - Doc healed Nasir for 8hp, using Healer's Way. I invite Doc to reroll his healing on Nasir using a spell (since there is no silence), if he would like.

All other actions are unaffected.

Mozamer, still peeved that Nasir disrupted his spell, prepares to strike at him again!

He also notices that the Shoanti woman with the hammer has removed his fleshdreg minion. She is the greater threat, with that hammer, he thinks to himself. I will finish this one and focus my attention on her!

He swings his gleaming halberd at Nasir twice and then turns his attention to Ayita!

Full Attack sequence
@NASIR Halberd PA: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23 HIT Dmg: 1d10 + 6 + 3 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 3 + 6 + 1 = 20

Sinful Bite (Will DC12): A creature bitten by a sinspawn is overwhelmed with sinful thoughts (DC 12 Will save negates). These emotions are so powerful that the target becomes sickened for 1d6 ⇒ 3 minutes. An affected target that is bitten a second time is staggered for 1 round if it fails its saving throw. Calm emotions, remove curse, or break enchantment negates the effects of sinful bite. The save DC is Charisma-based. This is a mind-affecting effect.

Sickened: The character takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

Doc, who do you have Life Link on?

Last life link, back in the hallway, was Nasir.

Thanks for the reminder about Life Link, GM. I'll use a spell for Nasir. (With metamagic rod in hand)

CMW with metamagic: 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (8, 4, 1) + 7 = 20

Looks like Nasir gets a total of 25 back and Hatfield takes a total of 13.

Since I used a spell, I'll use a swift action Healer's Way on myself. Because I used the rod on Nasir's healing, I'll reroll the healing for me because it's one less dice, now.

Healer's Way: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 4) + 1 = 7

Knowledge religion: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 1 = 9

Not much, apparently! Frantino uses a swift action to spend a point of abjuration mental focus to put up a mind barrier (8 hp protection, much like temp hp) for one round, moves into flank with Nasir, and swings.

Mozamer turns to face Frantino. He prepares to wave away Roscoe's ill luck with a quick prayer to Yamasoth, but... he cannot swing his weapon with a single hand.

"Curse you, halfling! I will feed you to my minions last!"

He swings his halberd in a wide circle, disregarding the impending ill omen, and hopes to strike Nasir, too.
